The Shohei Ohtani Conundrum - Season 4, Ep. 35
from Ballpark Dimensions · host MLB.com
The Angels and Shohei Ohtani received disappointing news on Wednesday when Tommy John Surgery was recommended for the star Japanese hitter and pitcher. The news didn't seem to slow Shohei down, as he went 4-for-4 with two home runs against the Texas Rangers following the diagnostic. Statcast host Mike Petriello and national editor Matt Meyers discuss how the Angels might proceed with Ohtani if he gets the surgery and why making him an opener could make sense. Also on the podcast this week they break down Trevor Story's epic three-home run night, why the Astros' bullpen is fascinating and the first MLB home run from Statcast podcast darling Yandy Diaz.
